There’s a very big difference between the so called evil people in real life and those in fiction stories, it’s called ‘real versus virtual’. Stories are not meant to be real otherwise why would we need to read stories or play games? Just step in the street instead and you will experience evil.
Evil characters in stories, especially in games are there to create fun. And by that meaning, they will not take things seriously like in real life. Otherwise, the game will be rated as violent and too real and attract a smaller range of player.
You have your reason to hate Power Rangers because they were not for you, even though you were a kid. I feel sorry for that because you lost your innocence and silliness so early. Children are so adorable just because of their innocence and unpolluted thoughts though you just rejected that so early.
As for you stated that you don’t hate Scarlet or stupid villains (by any argument you might imagine), you are just lying to yourself. The moment you think that Scarlet should not be there in the first place, that she is so stupid, that her creator is so stupid and you wish her to go away; you just show you hate her. However you remain so ignorant and deny that truth
Anyway, something you should forever admit: we are not the best in the world. Take it or leave it, but don’t hate because you just hurt yourself and others so much just simply by hating them.
I don’t hate Scarlet. She’s not even good enough to hate. I hate that she keeps being put in the story in detriment of a more competent/well written antagonist. I don’t care about defeating her. I just want her gone.
You just show how successful Scarlet as an antagonist and in the way she makes you hate her. Villains are not invented to be defeated, they are there for people to wish them to go away
She isn’t so very intresting any more
Scarlet was never interesting… She had the looming promise that she would become interesting at some point in the future… That has come and gone and it was a load of hot air.
Honestly I don’t care about killing her. I just want her to be gone so we can move on to a better story line… “Proxy, don’t you mean ‘hopefully’ better storyline?”. Scarlet set the bar so low I’d be genuinely surprised if they manage to put out something worse…
There are basically three kinds of antagonists.
The really good ones will leave you with mixed feelings. You want to defeat them, you know it’s the right thing to do, but at the same time you can’t help but empathize with them, you can’t help but think maybe they have a point, maybe. In the very best cases you’re even left wondering if they were a villain at all. See, for example, Watchmen SpoilerOzymandias.
The ok ones are generally simple, linear, and just characters you simply dislike and want to defeat. They usually have an egoist and self-absorbed goal that disregards the consequences for others. e.g.: “I want to become more powerful even if that means killing innocent people or destroying their lives”. They’re generally not fantastic, but they serve their purpose in that, at the very least, they’re logical and believable, and you want to kick their kitten so you want to see the story through to the end. If they’re charismatic enough, they might even be enjoyable to watch, potentially memorable.
Then you have the Saturday Morning Cartoon villains. Their actions are usually completely unjustifiable, even by psychopathy standards. They’re not “crazy” or “insane”, they’re stupid. They’re usually intended to be “insane”, but are written by people who don’t know the difference between “insane” and “stupid”, so they become the latter. They have no character or goal other than “be evil”. They’ll go out of their way to kick a puppy just to show you they’re “EVIIIIIIL!!!”. They’ll make plans to “destroy the world!”, even if that wouldn’t benefit them in any way. They have no logic behind their actions, no motivation, no reason to be. They’ll capture the only person that can foil their plans, then spend 10 minutes explaining their “EVIL PLAN!!” before locking them in some contrived death trap that’ll take 25 minutes to kill them, maybe, instead of just shooting them in the face and getting it over with. They’ll repeat the same plan that didn’t work 153 times before once more, because “THIS TIME!!!”. They’re utterly cartoony and unbelievable as characters. They’re uni-dimensional, basic, and completely uninteresting in any way. This is Scarlet.
I don’t hate Scarlet. She’s not even good enough to hate. I hate that she keeps being put in the story in detriment of a more competent/well written antagonist. I don’t care about defeating her. I just want her gone.
Well, I see that you are affected so much by “heroes vs villains” for kids
Any way, you have your reasons. Any way, Scarlet, as I understand, is not really evil or villain. She just disagrees with the blinded world and enjoys tricking them. By that, you get the answer why she bothers explaining her plan and put you to a timed box of death. She just plays with you and mock on your suffering. She enjoys watching you do everything just to get out of the so-called “contrived death trap that’ll take 25 minutes to kill”. Killing the lesser beings is easy and brings no fun. Making them suffer without killing them is more interesting to the villains. I already notice how the players (the real person in front of the computer screen) get upset for getting killed in the Scarlet’s dungeons. That’s how villains play on you
To answer to your notification about why villains do bad things like “destroying the world” knowing that they get no benefit from that; may I ask you a question: why do you eat 3 meals a day knowing that in the end you’ll die any way. Of course you’ll answer that you eat to ease the hunger and satisfy the need of food. Well, villains do bad things for the same reason. They don’t destroy the world for any ultimate goal or benefit, they do that just for fun and satisfy the need to express their evil talents.
I hope my answer is clear enough so that we should stop judging evil or villains as stupid. And ultimately, please show respect and stop treating the author of the game story as stupid. You are playing their game, their story. If they are stupid and you are so smart, why do you play their “stupid” game? And please be informed that you are not the “center of the universe” and you are surely not the most intelligent being in this world.
Hi,
I also has a near hardware specs and encountered the same problem after update. The game even crashed the amdkmdap driver then blue-screen crash my computer.
After rebooting and un-check deadlock check for the driver, the game stutters to the point of nearly impossible to play
